Chapter 1145 - This Security Guard Isn’t Too Cold!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Sun Mo recognized this voice. It belonged to Song Huigen!
“Damn!”
Sun Mo’s finger that was on the trigger paused for a moment before he decisively went through with it.
Bang! Bang!
Bullets whistled through the air.
Naturally, Sun Mo intentionally missed.
It basically wasn’t the time to acknowledge each other.
Firstly, Sun Mo couldn’t be sure if Emma had a connection with clearing this stage. Even if she had no connection with it, given her family background, it would be easy for him to make use of it to collect information and organize activities.
Moreover, Song Huigen was a thug. Even if they could break through the siege by the government and leave safely, what about the future?
To be a rat crossing the street that was detested by all?
Song Huigen dodged and immediately started his retaliation.
“The thug knows my assistant?”
Emma frowned. But after that, she was relieved because the other party started to fire back.
This indicated that the thug had only seen the original person her android’s face was modeled after. They had no friendship between them.
In this world, any sort of things could be transacted, including one’s appearance
It was like those luxurious branded bags overseas. The touch of them might feel like snakeskin, and it was fine even if ordinary people couldn’t understand it, but the rich would always buy it.
For something like aesthetics, everyone had different preferences. Hence, Emma’s family’s company exclusively purchased many types of appearances to use them on androids that were privately custom-made for their customers.
Emma’s mother had also found artists to design appearances. However, those buyers always felt that although the appearances looked nice, they lacked a hint of reality.
Also, even though an artist might have designed over thousands of appearances before, since the appearances were all drawn by the same person, there would definitely be some similarities.
When the rich purchased stuff, they would already feel a sense of loathing if they showed up together with the same clothing, let alone buying an android that looked similar to many others!
“Nice!”
Sun Mo heaved a sigh of relief. He was very afraid that Song Huigen would call out again. Luckily, Song Huigen was the number one prospect of the Black-White Academy and he lived up to his reputation. He understood the reason why Sun Mo didn’t reply to him. Hence, he immediately started to feign an attack.
In this intense shoot-off, Sun Mo left. Also, his sharp senses detected that Song Huigen was using the bullets to point out a path for him.
There was no need to ask. The path pointed out by Song Huigen was something he had patrolled. It would be temporarily safe.
“Captain, the target is heading to the third floor!”
Song Huigen gave a false information report through his walkie-talkie, giving Sun Mo a chance to escape. After that, he stealthily followed after Sun Mo to protect him from the shadows.
As expected of the person who had broken all historical records and became a four-time champion, Sun Mo was truly too impressive and had already adjusted to the ways of this world. As for himself, he felt like he was still grasping at straws.
However, wasn’t his marksmanship a little too good?
Everyone came in at the same time, so how did he train his marksmanship? It felt like he was innately familiar with it since he was born!
While in a daze, Song Huigen had decided his next action.
If Sun Mo was surrounded and attacked, he would help Sun Mo to break out from the siege and leave with him.
Because Song Huigen’s self-confidence had been completely crushed in the previous game, he didn’t feel he would be able to pass this game by himself.
He had to depend on Sun Mo.
If Sun Mo could leave safely, he could remain hidden in this group of thugs and become a spy. In any case, that girl was the target and as long as he knew everything about her, he would definitely be able to find Sun Mo.
“Oh right, I should find a chance to inform Jin Mujie.”
From the previous game, because he had followed Sun Mo, Song Huigen also got acquainted with An Xinhui and the others.
Now, most of their identities were thugs.
On the first floor, Sun Mo reckoned that the entrance to the mall had been sealed. Hence, he found an entrance leading to the sewer and pried the lid up.
“Jump down!”
Sun Mo urged.
“...”
Emma covered her nose and glanced downward. She didn’t want to jump. “It’s too dirty!”
Sun Mo couldn’t be bothered to waste words. He pulled Emma with him and directly jumped down.
One couldn’t help but say that the construction of this future city was truly not bad. Fifteen minutes later, Sun Mo led Emma through the sewers and climbed out from another exit outside.
“Call your father!”
Sun Mo reminded.
Emma’s father was the mayor of this city, and her mother was the boss of a corporate trust.
“It’s damaged!”
Emma shook her wrist. The electronic screening earlier had damaged her wristwatch.
Pak!
Sun Mo lifted his hand and grabbed a youth passing by. He snatched a communication equipment from the youth and passed it to Emma. “Sorry, please lend us that for a while.”
The youth had wanted to curse at them, but when he saw Sun Mo dressed in a black western suit and had a handgun in his hands and how beautiful Emma was, looking perfectly like a rich young miss from a wealthy family, the youth immediately squeezed out a smile.
historical
“Feel free to use it!”
..
The phone conversation ended.
“Father said that we should not move around randomly. The security guards will arrive here in three minutes!”
Emma then passed the communication device back to the youth. “Thanks!”
Sun Mo immediately pulled Emma along and led her into a restaurant at the side. After that, he entered the back kitchen.
“What are you doing? Guests are not permitted to enter here!”
A waiter rushed over.
Pak!
Sun Mo pointed the gun at the other party’s head.
“Where’s the back door?”
Sun Mo’s tone was ice-cold.
The waiter no longer dared to speak. He hurriedly pointed out the way.
Emma followed Sun Mo and circled through a small alley to reach the other side of the street. They then entered a dessert shop, and Sun Mo began to stare attentively at the place where they had waited earlier.
“Are you not too cautious?”
Emma curiously surveyed Sun Mo. She kept feeling that this android was different from the others.
Not only was he very handsome, but his demeanor was also different from the rest.
Very soon, a helicopter landed on the streets. Fully armed soldiers dismounted and stared warily at the surroundings, searching for Emma.
“It’s Uncle Li Qi!”
Emma heaved a sigh of relief. That’s the personal bodyguard of her father.
“Go!”
Sun Mo escorted Emma through the streets until they got onto the helicopter.
..
At night, Emma was lying on a sofa in the villa. While snacking, she was looking at the television’s news channel.
The thugs were still in the Dream Building and were currently fighting against the government troops.
Sun Mo placed his hands behind his back and stood at the sofa’s side. He was responsible to stand guard.
This was the request of Uncle Li Qi. He told Sun Mo to stay by Emma’s side twenty-four hours a day.
When the young girl was home, because she didn’t treat Sun Mo as a human but as an android instead, she wore very little clothes. Her behavior was also a little excessive, and she even dared to walk around in just her bathrobes.
And because of this chaos recently, Emma was grounded.
Three days later, the commotion ended. The thugs didn’t achieve their objectives because after the upper-echelons of the government deliberated, they felt that releasing those self-aware androids would bring even greater danger. Hence, they chose to sacrifice the hostages and attacked the thugs with full force instead.
Ultimately, only seven thugs managed to escape and they were currently being pursued by the whole city.
When Sun Mo saw Song Huigen and Jin Mujie’s wanted photos, he silently heaved a sigh of relief.
Emma’s confinement period was resolved. She wanted to go out to play, but her parents felt it was too dangerous outside and wanted her to bear with the urge to go out for now.
“I can go to Paradise for a holiday!”
Actually, Emma didn’t have too much of an interest in going to Paradise. But compared to staying at home, Paradise was much more fun.
“No way!”
Emma’s father rejected. However, Emma evidently wasn’t prepared to be obedient. During the second day, she secretly brought Sun Mo with her and left the villa, heading to the airport.
“Hey, wear this!”
Emma passed a metallic mask to Sun Mo. This mask was in the form of a devil, while she herself was wearing an angel mask.
“This mask will increase the difficulty of me trying to protect you!”
Sun Mo frowned.
“In Paradise, players have to conceal their real identities. At the same time, this is also to differentiate players from androids.”
Emma lowered her voice. “No matter what reason you have, do not remove your mask or you will surely die.”
“What sort of place is Paradise?”
Sun Mo asked.
“A playground!”
Emma shrugged and didn’t want to say anything more.
Paradise was an entertainment place for the upper class. It was a location for them to vent their stress. In this place, those humans with authority and statuses could do roleplay. They could actually do anything they wanted to do to the androids here, including but not limited to killing, robbing, slaughtering a town..
As long as someone was qualified to enter Paradise, they could do anything and wouldn’t have to face any consequences.
Actually, Paradise had a rule. Androids were not permitted to enter. However, who told Emma’s family to be too powerful? She brought Sun Mo along and after showing her VIP card to the reception counter, the airport leader immediately rushed over and personally drove Emma to the parking ground.
Sun Mo noticed that this was an area that was isolated from other places. There were three aircrafts currently parked here.
In the VIP resting area, there were already a few guys and girls waiting to board the aircrafts. They were chatting idly while drinking.
Sun Mo thought that they had to wait as well, but who knew that the airport leader’s car directly stopped beneath one of the aircraft.
“Let’s go quickly!”
Emma urged Sun Mo.
“...”
Sun Mo was stunned. Was this the legendary ‘privileges for the extremely wealthy?’ No, this should be the supremely top-tier authority. Emma not only could visit Paradise, but she could enjoy sitting in an aircraft alone too.
“Speaking of which, can I change to another mask?”
Sun Mo requested.
“What sort of mask do you want?”
Emma didn’t mind it.
Sun Mo lifted his hands and his two index fingers were pressed on the two sides of his mouth. After that, he exerted force and pulled outwards.
“A clown!”
Three hours later, the aircraft landed in an extremely large oasis.
The manager in charge of Paradise was a middle-aged woman, and she had been respectfully waiting for quite some time.
“Miss!”
The manager smiled widely and chatted idly, asking if Emma’s parents were doing well. After that, she began to introduce the programs in Paradise.
“I want to roleplay as a bounty hunter!”
Because Emma had suffered in Dream Building, she wanted to abuse some robbers, thugs, and bandits now to vent her emotions.
“I’ll make preparations for you!”
The manager then glanced at Sun Mo.
“He is my bodyguard, he has to be with me!”
The manager’s work efficiency was very good. 15 minutes later, Emma and Sun Mo were clad in cowboy-style clothes and were armed with weapons. They had a tattered motor carriage as their vehicle and were on their way to the nearest town.
“Which should we choose?”
Emma glanced at a bounty list and sought Sun Mo’s opinion. “The bounties listed here are so low. It’s not interesting at all!”
“That’s because you are too rich!”
Sun Mo silently mocked. After that, he frowned because he saw that the photo of one of the bounty targets was actually An Xinhui.
“Wow, this girl is so beautiful. I’ve decided. Let’s choose her!”
Emma made her decision.
At the same time, inside Paradise, the androids also started their resistance, which they had been preparing for a very long time.
“For freedom, kill all humans!”
An Xinhui was in the midst of the crowd and she could only follow them as they shouted their slogans.
